Based upon your a priori rejection of supernatural intervention as even a possibility, I highly doubt a controlled experiment would sway you in any way.
Actually many people converted because of the supposed miracles.
What about the numerous cases where health care professionals were involved before and after the miraculous healing?
One notes that “miracles” seem to occur almost exclusively among people predisposed to believe they exist. E.g. Dr Keener, whom you linked to, is on the faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary wherein its “official Statement of Faith includes an affirmation regarding the Bible as "without error in all it affirms." Hence it would be surprising if he didn't believe in miracles.
True, but this fact can't be extrapolated to dismissively hand wave the miraculous cases in question.
See above.
